Plans have been unveiled to create two new London Overground stations in west London.
Transport for London (TfL) said creating two new stations at Hythe Road and Old Oak Common Lane would provide a link to the Elizabeth line and High Speed 2 (HS2), as well as support the regeneration at Old Oak and Park Royal.
The regeneration is one of the UK's biggest development sites and has the potential to deliver 25,500 new homes and 65,000 jobs. At the centre of these plans is a new station at Old Oak on the HS2 route providing connections between London, the Midlands and the North.
Following on from the 2014 consultation, working with Network Rail and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) and co-funded by the European Commission (EC), TfL has started work to develop an initial design for potential stations at Hythe Road and Old Oak Common Lane.
A consultation on the stations' designs has now been launched and will close on 17 November.
Alex Williams, TfL's Director for City Planning, said: "These two potential new London Overground stations would improve connectivity to HS2 and support the regeneration at Old Oak and Park Royal.
"Delivering these would further build on the regeneration benefits of HS2 and the Elizabeth line and would help support new homes, jobs and opportunities for thousands of Londoners."
The outcome of the consultation will help determine the next steps for the potential stations.
